Equity Forge careers
Equity Forge is transforming how people build skills and wealth — creating pathways from verified volunteering → paid marketplace work → startup equity participation, all on one platform.
Hiring still relies on resumes, interviews, and credentials that are self-reported and easily gamed. AI is making this worse — increasing application volume while reducing signal trust. No one has built trusted infrastructure for portable professional identity, because no single employer benefits enough to create it. We're building it.
Our foundation is DemocracyLab, a 501(c)(3) that has facilitated over 10,000 skilled volunteer placements since 2018. Equity Forge expands these proven pathways into paid and equity opportunities — helping professionals earn compensation proportional to the value they create.
Our core innovation is authentic professional identity built through activity tracking, documented artifacts, peer attestation, and manager verification. When credentials are trustworthy, they become worth investing in — and that investment compounds over time.
We practice what we build — our team earns ownership through the same dynamic equity model we're creating for others.
